Joy of Christmas Etched Art

Joy of Christmas Etched Art

I tried my Silhouette Curio’s etching feature for this framed Christmas art, and I love it! Etching was super easy with my Curio, the stippling/etching tool, and Silhouette’s metal etching sheets. The etching sheets are 5″ x 7″ and I wanted it in this 8″

Caramel Apple, Anyone?

Caramel Apple, Anyone?

This has been the busiest start to the school year we’ve ever had.  I guess that makes sense, now that I’ve got all four kids in school.  At least part of every day.  But my Silhouette CAMEO has been getting a workout with school assignments 

School Tissue Box

School Tissue Box

Are you looking for a simple kids craft? How about cutting out some chipboard shapes, which your child can then wrap with twine or yarn? We added these chipboard shapes to a school tissue box for each child. I wanted to let my kids help

Student Owl Card | Print and Cut Tutorial

Here’s a fun card you can use for students of any age using this week’s free shape. I chose to fill one of the frames with a cute pattern, used printable white sticker paper for all of the print-and-cut elements, and mounted them on chipboard 

Photo Props

I was asked to help with a neighborhood party where the organizers wanted to set up an area for taking pictures.  They asked me to make photo props and help take pictures of everyone, so of course I said yes.  I love an excuse to 

Picture Perfect Frame

Today’s project is a fun way I used this week’s camera free shape to have a little photo op with my kids. (Originally posted on the Silhouette blog 5/13/2014). How about a Picture Perfect Frame? I used a square scallop frame to fill my 12 

Baby Boy Nautical Shower Invitations

Baby Boy Nautical Shower Invitations

I was asked to make baby shower invitations for a soon-to-be mom in our neighborhood.  I was happy to do it!  …But they had to be inexpensive, done in a week, and there needed to be 90 so we could invite all the ladies in 

Lucky to Have You

Lucky to Have You

Hello, friends! I made every bit of this “Lucky to Have You” card with my Silhouette CAMEO.  (Well, not the baker’s twine or the brads. But the gold brads were made by dipping plain silver brads into fine gold glitter.) Here is my post originally 

Gratitude Album

  Fall is in full swing here in the western U.S., and that means our Thanksgiving is approaching. I was asked to make a gratitude album for the Heartland Paper design team using the Basic Grey Capture album and page protectors. I must say this 

Hello Card

Hello Card

  I made this card for my friend who lives out of state. We only see each other once a year (if we’re lucky), so I like to send an occasional card to keep in touch. I was feeling in a kind of retro mood 

Patriotic Ribbon

Patriotic Ribbon

I made this ribbon to wear during 4th of July celebrations here in the United States, but you can adapt this ribbon for any occasion by changing the colors and making your own label for the front.  My daughter gave me a ribbon similar to 

Perpetual Flip Calendar

This is a project I’ve wanted to make for years.  I saved an image of someone’s flip calendar on my computer in an “inspiration” folder ages ago and am so happy to have finally made it!  I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the titles

This is the project I made in 2008 for Mother’s Day.  I just ran across the photos while scrapbooking and thought I should share this here.  There are several versions out there for a word-shaped mini album.  This is my version I created in Photoshop
